Professional Representation

The FOAA serves as an advocate for the outdoor advertising industry in the state of Florida representing industry interests before the Florida Legislature as well as the Florida Department of Transportation.

We work to promote and preserve the business of outdoor advertising with due consideration of the public interest and welfare; to provide programs of education, information and research in order to engender a better understanding and greater appreciation of the outdoor medium; to advance the common interests of the broad spectrum of those engaged in the business of outdoor advertising recognizing the particular diversity of business characteristics within the industry; to cooperate with local, county and state authorities in regulating outdoor advertising within the State of Florida; and to establish and maintain liaison with other professional, governmental, business organizations and related industries.

Public Service Program

The FOAA considers the support of civic, charitable and governmental projects necessary for local communities to develop and grow. The FOAA public service program is a statewide effort in which members provide public service space to qualifying organizations in order to communicate important messages to the motoring public. By participating in the FOAA public service program, members enjoy the benefit of always having worthwhile copy close at hand to post on available boards. In addition, the program serves as a venue for implementing press conferences and gaining positive media exposure. Most importantly, the FOAA public service program exemplifies the desire of the outdoor advertising industry to be a good community partner.
